The Total War: Warhammer beta client has been updated with some much needed balance changes

Total War: Warhammer has recently been updated with an entirely new faction in the form of Norsca and their monstrous pets, as well as a variety of new Regiments of Renown designed to spice up the gameplay. As you might expect, this massive influx of new units quickly threw both the multiplayer and singleplayer balance into disarray, but worry not as there is a hotfix patch coming.

Before the patch arrives to the live version, however, Creative Assembly has decided to put it through a spin on the test servers. So if you're interested in helping out, or if you're just looking to read about the new changes, you'll find what you seek over here. On the other hand, if you're just interested in the balance adjustments, here they are:

I don't spend much time playing Total War: Warhammer's multiplayer so my opinion might not be exactly relevant, but all of these changes do appear to be pretty damn accurate. Norsca has received some much needed nerfs to their Mammoths, skirmishers, and ridiculously powerful skinwolves, while Chaos still gets to play around with their equally powerful Forsaken and Chaos Spawn Regiments of Renown, albeit at a higher cost. The only change I'm not really happy about is Apocalyptic Charge, but I'll chalk that one up to me being completely clueless about the multiplayer meta. Either way, its going to be an interesting balance patch, for both singleplayer and multiplayer!
